Alas, there is more wonder to the world than chess.

This is what I wake up for at 3:30 am, even if I have to play chess the same day. There are so many unbelievables in this tournament that I probably shouldn't start to mention given that this is my chess blog! The least important one is that I correctly predicted the winners of all the matches from quarterfinals on.

Roger Federer defeated Rafa Nadal 6-4, 3-6, 6-1, 3-6, 6-3 in an Australian Open final that looked like it should have happened 10 years ago.
